Requirements

The SAM extension interfaces to the IBM Messaging and Queuing
middleware products using a set of libraries and some client side code
referred to as XMS. This package is available as a free download in
the guise of IBM support pack IA94. There is a description of this
package and download links in the article »
Introducing XMS - The IBM Message Service API.

If you intend to use SAM to access the Messaging and Queuing
infrastructure within WebSphere MQ then you will also need to have
installed a local MQ queue manager or installed the WebSphere MQ
clients package. The clients package is freely available as a support
pack (» MQC6).

If you are only aiming to experiment with sending messages to and from
WebSphere Application Server queues using the WebSphere Platform
Messaging protocol (WPM) then you do not need to install the MQC6
package.

After installing these packages you will need to ensure the XMS binary
and, if you are using it, the MQ client bin directory are included in
the PATH environment variable so that Apache and PHP can
find the dependent .DLLs/libraries.
